Basia, in case you're confused, before you spend time trying to find Eboo, he means eBay & no, not a typo.
Thank you, kind sir. Basia, have we said welcome to you before getting silly there for a bit? Love your (Sendak?) avatar. Back to topic. Is...
Think what is on back could be STER SIL for sterling silver? There is a mark on the front, the sort of thing you see on engraved medals....
Hey, @springfld.arsenal ! You like figuring out the function of old tools. Probably not sewing. Ideas?
I don't think it's sewing related at all. Too short to measure a hem for anything other than a very long skirt. That hook shaped piece seems to...
The seller of your book does not sound like a real book expert. Guess you have to weigh how you think it would be of most value to you: in its...
Wonder, then, if we have been on the wrong track, whether the main compartment would have ice & the whole piece be related to the world of food &...

Is there a reason goods can't wait for transfer until check clears? Dealer probably couldn't stay in business with a history of stiffing people...

Even a little plastic bag with a press seal top, if you happen to have one around, will protect from scratching & buffer any bumps. I hate to see...
Is it illustrated? If so, I think I'd be tempted to slit open those pages, even if not others. Own a good paper knife?
Is it gold, solid gold? You have not told us this before. Without marks, how was the type & quality of the metal determined? The emedals.com...
That's us! Welcome.
I don't meet many roof slaters, although once was narrowly missed by a slate that crashed down right in front of me on a windy day. Welcome!
I still see lots slipping by in carefully worded eBay listings. I only report when I suspect the item is modern. Some things you know are...
